9.358 MissionMicrowave-SSPA

This page describes the device driver and the device window for the Mission Microwave SSPA and SSPB using SNMP protocol.

It was tested with various Single and Dual Band units using SNMPv3 with the following authentification parameters:

Device window pages

The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type. Tool-bar functions not mentioned here are described at the general description of device windows .

Configuration parameters

At the maintenance page of the device window there are a couple of configuration parameters which must be set to make the software talk to the unit.

parameter description
address The SNMP address specification for the device (details below).
readBackDelay Defines the delay the driver uses when it reads back parameters recently commanded. The delay is initialized at a proved preset value which should not be changed under normal circumstances.
lowOutputThreshold Sets the low rf output level threshold level.
lowOutputAlarmType Sets the low rf output level alarm type.
highOutputThreshold Sets the high rf output level threshold level.
highOutputAlarmType Sets the high rf output level alarm type.
highReflThreshold Sets the high reflected power threshold level.
highReflAlarmType Sets the high reflected power alarm type.
txReference Sets the reference source.
referenceFallback Sets the reference source fallback behaviour.
hasDualBand Defines if the units is single or dual band.
maxNullResponses Defines the maximum allowed amount of consecutive Null responses before raising a Communication Fault. This is a Workaround as some units respond with Null on random requests due to unknown/unsolved FW problems.
deviceComment An optional text entered here appears as an addition to the tooltip which is shown while the mouse is placed over a device icon in the GUI. The "\n" character sequence is translated into a newline character, splitting the text into multiple lines.

SNMP address specification

The full address consists of the following fields: aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:pppp read-community write-community

parameter description
aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd The IP address of the device in 'dotted quad' notation. This field is mandatory.
pppp The IP port number where the device accepts SNMP requests. The port number may be omitted, the driver uses the standard port 161 in this case.
read-community The SNMP read community name. This must match the read community expected by the device.
write-community The SNMP write community name. This must match the write community expected by the device. The write community name may be omitted, the driver uses the read community name for both, read and write in this case. If both community names are missing, the driver uses public as a default for read and write community string.
